This is the official mirror repository of VLC for iOS and tvOS application.
You can find the official repository here .
It's currently written in Objective-C / Swift and uses VLCKit , a libvlc wrapper.
Clone VLC-iOS:
git clone https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc-ios.git
Run the command
[sudo] gem install cocoapods
(and then
[sudo] arch -x86_64 gem install ffi
on Apple Silicon devices).
Run
pod install
(or
arch -x86_64 pod install
on Apple Silicon devices).
Open
VLC.xcworkspace
.
Hit "Build and Run".
Mostly for debugging or advanced users, you might want to have a custom local VLCKit build.
Clone VLCKit:
git clone https://code.videolan.org/videolan/VLCKit.git
Inside the VLCKit folder, run the following command:
./compileAndBuildVLCKit.sh -a ${MYARCH}
MYARCH can be
i386
x86_64
armv7
armv7s
or
aarch64
.
Add
-d
for a debug build (to have valid stack straces and asserts).
Add
-n
if you want to use you own VLC repository for VLCKit (See
VLCKit README.md
).
Replace the MobileVLCKit.framework with the one you just built.
Inside your vlc-ios folder, after a
pod update
, do:
cd Pods/MobileVLCKit
rm -rf MobileVLCKit.framework
ln -s ${VLCKit}/build/MobileVLCKit.framework
Hit "Build and Run".
